GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 12, 1914.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD A. GEURLNK, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of East Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners, of which the:t'ollowing is a specification, the principle of the invention beingherein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applyingthat principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

My invention relates to a gas burner for use in stoves, ranges and thelike and which has been designed to provide a thorough intermixture ofthe gas and air and with the view of taking advantage of the incomingrush of the air to the greatest possible extent.

To the accomplishment of these and related ends v aid invention thenconsists of the means hereinafter fully described and particularlypointed out in the claims.

The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detailcertain mechanism embodying the invention, such disclosed meansconstituting however, but one of Various mechanical forms in which theprinciple of the invention may be used.

Figure 1 is aplan View of the burner; Fig. 2 is a section on the line Z-J oil. Fig. 1, show ing also a suitable burner easing; Fig. 3 is a sideele ation of a portion oil. the burner, and Fig. 4 is a section on theline 2--9, Fig. l.

The burner will be seen in Fig. 1 to consist of a suitable casing 1provided with a passage 2 therethrough from which apertures extenddivergently, the gas passing from the central passage through theseaperlures. The form of the burner casing or conduit is preferablyroughly triangular, the divergent apertures through which the gas ispassed to the air being each substantially parallel with one of the twodivergent sides t and 5 of the triangular casing, one edge 10 of whichturned toward, and is in the path of, the incoming air as illustrated bythe arrows in Fig. 2 The inrushing air is thus passed substantiallyparallel with the incoming gas but at a very slight angle to the sameand moves past the edge of the apertures 3 carrying the gas, thusdrawing the same out and causing the gas to be thoroughly mixed with theair.

The foregoing result is increased by rounding the sides or edges (5 ofthe burner casing to roughly encircle the apertures supplying the gas,as best shown in Fig. 3. The air is thus permitted to move pastsubstantially hall. of each aperture and this construelion secures anextremely hot flame and consequently a good heating e'l'liciency.

In Fig. the action of the gas and air is illustrated by the arrows. Theair is passed about the sides of the apertures and parallel to the edgesof the same. In this way a much more ellcetive mixing action can besecured than when the gas apertures are merely positioned adjacent to a.straight edge, as in most burners now in general use. The length oil theburner conduit will depend upon the use required, of course, but in anyevent it desirable to space the apertures 25 a sullicient distance apartto permit an ample supply of air to be drawn up be tween the edges (3 ofthe adjacent apertures.

()ther modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employedinstead of the one explained, change being made as regards the mechanismherein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of the followingclaims or the equivalent or such stated means be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as myinvention.:-

1. A gas burner, comprising a casing provided with a gas supply conduittherethrough, said casing having two straight diverging sides, andlaterally directed holes opening into such conduit, certain of suchholes lying parallel and adjacent to one of such straight sides, and theremainder of such holes being similarly disposed with respect to theother of such two straight sides.

2. A gas burner, comprising a casing having two diverging sides, a gassupply c011- duit extemling through said burner, and a plurality oflaterally directed holes opening into such conduit and disposed parallelto the walls of said burner, such walls being indented to roughlyconform to such holes at the point of discharge of the same.

3. in a device of the cha 'acter described, the combination of areceptacle open at top and. bottom and having substantially straightparallel sides, a roughly triangular casing disposed in said receptaclewith one edge directed toward the bottom of the same, said casing beingprovided with a gas supply conroughly conform to such holes at the point10 duit extending longitudinally therethrough, of discharge of the same.
